Category Archives: Dating For Boomers

People live longer today and many older people may find themselves alone. This can be due to divorce or the death of their spouse. Whatever the reason though, loneliness in your older years is not something many of us welcome. So how can you make new friends? Senior citizen dating sites are a great way to find someone to share your life with.

You may not be looking for a serious relationship, but you may want someone just to go on the occasional trip to the theatre with, or dine out with once in a while. The good thing about senior dating sites is that you can pick and choose from a wide selection of member profiles from the comfort of your home. So how can you tell if the site if the person is genuine?

The majority of people who join senior citizen dating sites are fine, however just as anywhere else where you meet new friends you can find the odd scam artist. Be wary of someone who asks you for personal information. Never give out any bank details, or your home address. This may sound obvious but scam artists are very clever and can win you over very fast. Get to know potential dates first before agreeing to meet them.

You can talk on the telephone and get a feel of their voice. Even chat on Skype where you can see them on the webcam. At least this way you will know they are a real person. Be wary of anyone who never talks about their family or are guarded about their life in general.

Just as with younger singles, single senior dating can be fun and widen your social circle. It doesn’t matter how old you are it’s never too late to find that special companion to share your life with. You may worry that you aren’t very technically minded when it comes to computers. However you could always get a family member to help you fill out your online profile if you choose to join a dating site.

If you don’t want to go online and feel apprehensive about senior citizen dating sites you could always join local groups where you will meet people your own age with similar interests. Bowls, golf, dancing, bingo, even church groups are something you could consider. Another great way to meet people your own age is to go on vacation. There are companies who specialise in senior singles. You could go on a cruise or if you don’t feel very adventurous try a coach outing for the day. There are so many places you can make new friends. There really is no need to feel lonely.
